I’m wondering why they needed tread on the tyres?

Actually these are nothing to do with Churchill but are 1960s American, developed I believe for both Vietnam and arctic conditions. The tread is to reduce the tendency to slip sideways on side slopes. There are photos of them being towed in groups, one behind the other.

Two-Wheeled Fuel Bladder
Canada trialled the US version in 1960. I have not checked to see if the configuration went into production of if it had either an XM or M number.

Yes David, we know they are nothing to do with Churchill, but you can sort of see the lineage? As Rob has pointed out and on closer inspection , it appears they were running an air coupling system, similar to that of the M800 series trucks, so yes the 1960's is the correct generation. Cheers Andrew.
